Questions from Hewish

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repairing versus replacing in Hewish

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Most customers in Hewish get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
